 * ~ Text Title ||~ Text Author ||~ Comment ||
 * Follow The Rabbit-Proof Fence || Doris Pilkington ||  ||
 * Going Solo || Roald Dahl ||  ||
 * Hiroshima || John Hersey ||  ||
 * Kinder Transport || Diane Samuels ||  ||
 * Mihipeka || Mihi Edward ||  ||
 * Night || Elsie Wiesel ||  ||
 * Not Without My Daughter || Betty Mahmoody ||  ||
 * The Blind Side || Michael Lewis ||  ||
 * Touching The Void || Joe Simpson ||  ||
 * A Long Way Gone || Ishmael Beah || Themes of civil war and becoming a soldier, then a refugee are very topical. Students of all levels find something to write about. I get students to vote texts in or out at the end of the year, and this has had a resoundingly positive response 3 years in a row. ||
